| Summary: | Gastric outlet obstruction due to an incarcerated stomach in a parastomal hernia is extremely rare. Here, we present the management of such a case with a review of the literature. A 79-year-old woman presented with a 3-week history of postprandial vomiting and associated parastomal and epigastric pain. She had a loop colostomy created for severe fecal incontinence secondary to anal stenosis. Imaging revealed a large parastomal hernia with an incarcerated gastric antrum. She was initially managed nonoperatively with a nasogastric tube. She underwent a semi-elective open Sugarbaker mesh repair of the parastomal hernia with good results. Gastric outlet obstruction secondary to incarceration of the stomach in a parastomal hernia is uncommon. A conservative approach with nasogastric tube decompression is a reasonable initial approach in a patient who is not critically unwell, which allows time for consideration of different parastomal hernia repair techniques. |
